Which movies to watch this weekend, June 10 Greta Gerwig is brilliant in this odd and well-written romantic comedy, from director Rebecca Miller, about a woman who meddles in the lives of others. Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone wrote and star in this very funny, sometimes jaw-dropping satire, which not only sends up the career of a hip-hop star (Samberg) but also skewers contemporary celebrity culture. Samantha Montgomery, a New Orleans nursing-home worker with a troubled past,... Читать дальше...

The moves — raising the price for premium seats to $849 while offering 46 seats per show at $10 each — are part of a broader effort to stanch the loss of tens of millions of dollars in potential revenue to scalpers and to make the show available to people who cannot afford pricey theater tickets. An $849 theater ticket, although less than some people are paying to purchase seats to “Hamilton” on the secondary market, is a record price for tickets being sold directly by a Broadway show.

The show is unworthy of Shotgun Players, the company that, in 2015, produced an entire season of plays by women in an effort to do their part (which is much, much more than most companies do) to help correct contemporary American theater’s insidious and persistent preference for plays by men.
